I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Government (PSPE) at the London School of Economics, under the supervision of Valentino Larcinese and Stephane Wolton.

My research interests orbit around Political Economy, using historical evidence, quasi-experimental designs, and text-as-data. I am particularly interested in the nexus between political inequality and public policy, and the role of labor unions therein.

Prior to LSE, I worked as a pre-doctoral fellow at FAIR, Norwegian School of Economics in Bergen.
I hold a BA (2021) and MSc (2023) in Economics from the Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna.
